Today’s blog is a sensitive subject for me because it’s something that I had to walk out myself. I mentioned in one of my previous post that we lost 2 babies. I want to bring attention to this subject because I’m finding that many women suffer through this in silence feeling as if no one understands. After I lost the first…

I was pregnant for the First time. It was very early in our marriage and we were not quite prepared, yet like any first timer there was a gush of excitement running through me. I wondered whether the baby was a boy or a girl, and dreamed about what my child would look like. We had been to the doctors and knew for certain that we were 6 weeks pregnant. The next night I woke up in discomfort to discover bright red stains. I knew it shouldn’t have been there. My heart was racing, my stomach…

Did you know that around 30-50% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage? Wow, the number of pregnancies that end in miscarriage is so high. However, most of the miscarriages end before a woman even finds out she is expecting and often go undetected. Most miscarriages happen before a woman even knows she is…

Finding out that you are expecting is the most exciting news that a mother to be will ever get, aside from getting married.

I’d like to think it might instill hope in those seeking it and shed some light on the subject of struggling with…

You can't help but to admire and respect these people cause they make you want to be a better person yourself.

My friend, Sari, is one of these amazing people. I am in constant awe of her optimism, courage and strength. She somehow juggles three kids,…

It's been four months since my missed miscarriage. My body has healed. My heart still has not. While the sonogram image of my baby whose heart stopped beating no longer haunts my every thought; I am constantly reminded of what I have lost. Ironically, Norrin reminded me…

It's been a couple days since I opened my heart and wrote the posting, The Day My Paper Shredder Made Me Cry. Within a couple hours of disclosing my innermost, rawest, feelings, my e-mail box was flooded with messages of support, encouragement and advice. There are no words....

Last week on October 15th, many mamas were lighting candles in remembrance. That day has been designated as National Pregnancy Loss & Infant Loss Awareness Day.

I had a miscarriage soon after my first child was born. My loss was accompanied with some guilt too – finding out I was pregnant while having a newborn left me horrified.
